The critical grounded theory presented in this book offers valuable
insights on the social processes and strategies used by Blended
English for Academic Purposes Professionals (BLEAPs) at higher
education institutions, as they struggle to negotiate the
challenges arising from a new focus on recruiting international
students and hunting for other resources for their universities.
Drawing from in-depth interviews with numerous research
participants at over eleven higher educational institutions in the
UK, Japan and the United States, this work focuses on those who
have been precariously placed as middle manager at many EAP and
TESOL programs. Lacking in both positional power or permanence,
these 'BLEAPs' are faced with many challenges as they seek to
understand their changing role in higher educational institutions,
and engage in strategies that can help them gain greater control
over issues in their profession.
Uniquely aimed specifically at language learners, addressing both
critical thinking and language learning. Uniquely integrates the
latest research on critical thinking with second language classroom
practice. Offers language instructors suggestions on structuring a
critical thinking component within their classes. Offers students
classroom activities to stimulate a critical mindset, foster
critical thinking skills, and aid learners in ways to organize and
articulate thoughtful, respectful responses.
